OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9. Cross-Cutting/Rip Cutting
When making a cross-cut or a rip cut, align the
guideline with the 0˚ blade-guide notch (L) on the
base as shown in Fig.9a. The distance from the
saw blade to the saw base is approximately 1-1/2
in. (3.8 cm) on the left side of the saw and 5 in.
(12.7 cm) on the right .
Blade thicknesses vary, so you should always
make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline
to determine how much the guideline must be
offset from the guide to produce an accurate cut.
NOTICE: Use a guide when making long or wide
rip cuts.
Rip Cutting Using a Straight Edge
a. Secure the workpiece.
b. Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using
C-clamps (not included).
NOTICE: Position the C-clamps so that they will
not interfere with the saw housing during the cut.
c. Rest the front edge of the base shoe (V) on
the workpiece without touching the blade to
the workpiece.
d. Depress the trigger switch (A) to start the saw.
e. Allow the blade to reach full speed, then guide
the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
f. Saw along the straight edge to achieve a
straight rip cut.
g. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade (J) to come to a complete stop.
h. Lift the saw from the workpiece.
NOTICE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
